Managing Shipping Options
Once a selling partner selects an initial fulfillment solution, they can manage their
shipping settings directly in their Seller Central or Vendor Central account.
Seller: Sellers can manage settings such as order cutoff times, weekend delivery
settings, operating days and holidays in the Shipping settings tab of Seller Central
Vendor: Vendors ship products to Amazon's fulfillment centers, where Amazon takes
ownership. Depending on the agreement, two shipping options are available in
Vendor Central:
1. Prepaid: Vendors handle and pay for their own product shipping to an
Amazon fulfillment center.
2. Collect: Amazon covers the cost and arranges shipping for the vendor's
products to an Amazon fulfillment center.
Choosing a Fulfillment Solution
Business Size: Determine the appropriate fulfillment method based on your
business's size and order volume; Starting small may allow for in-house shipping,
while expansion may warrant storage space
Product Range: The type and size of products influence the level of support needed
from a fulfillment service; Note that not all shipping options apply to all products,
especially in the case of U.S. shipping limitations
Inventory Tracking: Opt for a solution with robust inventory tracking capabilities to
prevent selling out-of-stock items and ensure accurate reporting
Returns Processing: Establish a streamlined returns process, including inspection,
restocking, and communication with customers, to enhance customer satisfaction
and inform product improvements
Choosing a Fulfillment Solution
Customer Service: Decide whether your fulfillment partner will handle
customer inquiries, as some providers offer customer service support while
others do not
Shipping Efficiency: Efficient shipping plays a crucial role in customer
satisfaction. Consider how your chosen solution aligns with your brand's growth
and customer expectations
Storage and Accessibility: Ensure a well-organized, temperature-controlled
storage system for easy access to products once orders are placed
Fulfillment Software: Evaluate whether your business requires specialized
fulfillment software to automate order processing, integrate with ecommerce
systems, and manage operations effectively
